The United States Securities and Exchange Commission rules allow the company to mail a notice to its stockholders advising that its proxy statement, annual report to stockholders, electronic proxy card, and related materials are available for viewing, free of charge, on the Internet. Stockholders may then access these materials and vote over the Internet or request delivery of a full set of materials by mail or email. Vishay has elected to utilize this process for the 2013 annual meeting. Vishay began mailing the required notice, called the "Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials," to stockholders on or about April 5, 2013. The proxy materials are available for viewing, free of charge, on the Internet, at http://ir.vishay.com.

These rules give Vishay the opportunity to serve stockholders more efficiently by making the proxy materials available quickly online and reducing costs associated with printing and postage. Stockholders who receive a Notice will not receive a paper or electronic copy of the proxy materials unless they request a copy using the procedure described in the Notice and on Vishay's investor relations website at http://ir.vishay.com.
